Who: Sorey
Broadcast: Huntress only!
Action: Iskaulit & Huntress
When: 9/16

Huntress crew, this is your first mate, Sorey. ...due to certain circumstances, we are currently without a Captain. I'm acting as Captain now to fill the role, but if there are any interested parties, please contact me at your soonest convenience.

In the meantime, if there's anything that requires tending to, please don't hesitate to let me know. Any supplies we're short on, any concerns you may have about the status of the ship...I know we're at full capacity now, so if we start taking on extra passengers again we'll have to double up. And I'm also the ship's engineer, so please bring any technical problems you have to me.

...thank you...to everyone who has been looking after the ship for the past couple weeks.

[Sorey can be found both in engineering on the Huntress and at the Interfaith center on the Iskaulit. If your character can sense spiritual power and has run into him before, they may notice him lacking his usual protective/cleansing domain.]

[His primary reason for visiting was to check on Opal/Natalie, and he's done that, but he figures he might as well give Nightingale the full report. Better check on the guy who's supposed to be looking after her.

He's never been to the Huntress, so it takes a bit of digging, but eventually he stumbles upon engineering and knocks the entranceway with his knuckles.]

Hey, are you Sorey?

[Glances up from where he's organizing his tools. ...this isn't a new crew member, unless he transferred. Sorey's pretty sure he's either seen or heard this guy on the comms before.] That's me. What can I do for you?

If there is anything I can do to help, let me know. I might just be a cook here, but I am always happy to give aid.

You're the one looking after Natalie- er, Opal, right? Nightingale asked me to help, so I thought I'd check in.

[Also size the guy up, make sure he's legit.]

There is something, actually.

There should be some potted water in the kitchens; it's been specially purified, so it's better quality than what we've got on the ship. I know it says 'do not touch,' but feel free to use it all up. It should make anything you use it in taste a bit better. [Loses that metallic, filtered tang.]

Oh? I see. [Sorey checks his hand for grease before leaning forward and offering it to shake.] Natalie's probably in my room, but she's started going out and exploring now that she's not as scared. Would you like me to introduce you?

{Fingon smiles.}

Thank you, I will be sure to put it to good use! Do you have any specific requests?

[Kirito doesn't hesitate to shake his hand. First impressions good so far, at least?]

Ah... actually, I already met with her. I brought her some books from the Iskaulit library, so if you find them later and are wondering where they came from, well.

Ah! Sorey, are you okay!? I heard you were missing...!

[She has been fretting about you, friend.]

[ Ahsoka had filled him in on what happened and after looking at the villages and the reports, the story had some blanks filled - though barely enough. It's not his place to ask though, though Obi-Wan would prefer it.

So when Sorey returns to the ship, Obi-Wan seeks him out at Engineering. The noticeable lack of aura was the first thing he noticed. ]

Sorey.

I can't think of any...

-actually, can you make mashed potatoes? I know it sounds kind of underwhelming, but I have somebody here who likes them.

Uraraka! I didn't even know you were...

I-I'm okay, really. What happened was-was complicated. [yeah not explaining to frightened new friend about how he turned into a monster due to his own emotional negligence.]

More importantly, are you doing okay? I'm so sorry nobody properly greeted you to the ship.

Oh...yeah that was probably a good idea. She seemed pretty bored with the choice of books I have in my room. [Too meek to say it aloud though.]

Thanks for that. Have you looked after kids before or something?

[Whether or not he intends to, Obi-Wan always gave off that feeling of commanding respect for Sorey. Like a stranger with the same vibe as his Gramps, though without the familiarity. And probably not as much lightning.

So when Obi-Wan comes into Engineering, Sorey straightens up like an errant child facimg his father.] Obi-Wan, hello. Are...are you here about the Captain position?

Roger, got it...

[So it really is like Dezel said...]

Anything I can do to help out? [Other than doing his job properly]

It sounded complicated...

[She won't ask. The tone of his voice in his initial message hadn't really encouraged it. But now she can fret at him instead of just about.]

I'm fine, I just sort of let myself in... sorry! But, um- do you need any help with your ship? I only know maintenance, but I work hard and I can learn more if I have to!

Edited (editing to clarify some shit CAN'T STOP ME) 2016-09-19 19:06 (UTC)

Yeah, I used to look after my sister a lot, and I have a daughter back home, so I'm used to it.

[He does not look old enough to have a daughter but okay.]

Gets easier with practice.

[kiddo you are so nice and like, a child, but. look you are just. you could stand to improve in your job. sorey will never say this, but you could, like seriously.]

Actually, um, yeah. Could I get you to stop by Engineering, so we can go around and check all the filters?

[Never.]

Oh- sure thing! I'll be right down!

[ He blinks, surprised. ]

Not at all. Why would I be?

{A pleased half grin.} Yes! I try to keep a pot of stew going just in case someone gets hungry, but I can make mashed potatoes too. Do you know how they like them?

[truth be told, YES WOW YES HE NEEDS HELP WITH MAINTENANCE but more importantly]

Hey, c'mon, you're a guest, I can't exactly just put you to work right away. At least have something to drink first. I [should have stopped working two hours ago] was going to get something to eat anyway. Join me?

[She does feel like she ought to be doing more than just mooching his ship's food, but... well, he really looks like he could use a break. Whatever happened must have been terribly stressful.]

Um... well, okay! Can I help you make some food, at least?

Yeah, I guess that would be something you'd need practice with. [Rubs the back of his neck. He has a kid? This guy looks even younger than him, but Sorey's not getting any spiritual vibes off of him.] I'm sorry you have to be away from your daughter. You must miss her terribly.

Edited 2016-09-20 03:41 (UTC)

[Haaaah. Sorey gets a slightly bittersweet smile for that one, accompanied by a shrug.]

Well, sure, but everyone's in the same boat. You've got people you miss from home too, right?

[It's not really even a question- around here it's kind of a given.]
